Children's homes in 1870-1880

Re: Children's homes in 1870-1880

Thanks for the responses to my post. The Good Samaritan Home was established too late for my ancestors to have been sheltered there. The entire family was in Pensacola in 1880. I believe they moved from Tampa to Penscola around 1875.

I found references to a convent or monestary in St. Leo, but nothing as early as I'm looking for in the Tampa area.
